LORELEI TRIED THE communication dock yet again. No response. There was nothing to do but wander the empty halls and rooms and to write her letter to a dead man.

On a shelf above the screen was a gift Lorelei had given her husband: an underwater bouquet. In a small tank shaped like a bell jar were her favourite small sea plants – a cluster of anemones that looked like orange, red, yellow, and pink sunflowers, thin strands of beaded red seaweed, and black rocks dotted with sea moss.

Eli had smiled, cradling the tank gently in his hands, but Lorelei took it from him and told him to look at it under the microscope in the black light of the lab, and the bell jar had come alive, filled with tiny planktonic foraminifera and amoebas. Some looked like clear jellied umbrellas, swirled through with darker colours. Others were thin strands tangled together into spirals. Eli had looked for a long time before he straightened from the microscope and took his wife in his arms.

Lorelei grabbed the bell jar and smashed it against the floor.
